Accordingly the world spoke plain at last,

Promised to punish who next played with fire.

So, at his advent, such discomfiture

Taking its true shape of beneficence,

Hohenstiel-Schwangau, half-sad and part-wise,

Sat: if with wistful eye reverting oft

To each pet weapon, rusty on its peg,

Yet, with a sigh of satisfaction too

That, peacefulness become the law, herself

Got the due share of godsends in its train,
